Ethel L. Dupar’s Fragrant Garden
Come help us with our garden restoration effort. We are in the fourth stage of rejuvenating our fragrant garden designed expressly for people with visual disabilities. If you are interested in joining a work party or otherwise helping out in the garden, contact Melissa Mueller at 206-436-2116 or email mmueller@seattlelh.org.

Community Outreach
The Community Outreach Program's purpose is to educate the community about blindness issues and to spread the word about employment opportunities, programs and employee achievements here at the Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc.  We need dynamic speakers and passionate Lighthouse supporters willing to represent the Lighthouse at non-profit fairs, service club meetings, school assemblies, and local events.  If you would like to be a representative, or know someone who would be great at it, please call Keri Brent at (206) 436-2134 or email at kbrent@seattlelh.org.

Volunteer Interpreters Needed!
We have opportunities for volunteer interpreters and guides in both our Deaf-Blind community class and our annual Deaf-Blind retreat. This is a great opportunity for both professional and student interpreters to develop their skills interpreting with Deaf-Blind people and a fun way to connect with the community!

Annual Deaf-Blind Retreat
Volunteer guides and interpreters must have experience guiding and communicating with Deaf-Blind people and have a language level of ASL 6 or above. Deaf volunteers welcome!

Volunteer interpreters attending the retreat can receive minimum 0.2 CEUs towards RID (or other workplace) CEU requirements or up to 2.0 CEUs for an Independent Study project.

Deaf-Blind Community Class
Deaf and hearing volunteer sign language interpreters may be professionals, interpreting students, or community members. All volunteer interpreters must be competent in American Sign Language (ASL) and possess an appropriate level of interpreting skill and experience working with Deaf-Blind people.

Other Deaf-Blind Community Class Volunteer Opportunities
We have a number of other opportunities available in our community classes for people with all levels of experience, including:

• Class set-up and clean-up
• Sighted Guiding
• Transportation to and from class
• Videotaping and photography (we will provide camera equipment)

For more information on volunteering for our annual Deaf-Blind retreat or Deaf-Blind community classes, contact Tami Berk at her voice and TTY number 206-436-2120 or email Tami at tberk@seattlelh.org.
